Answer by Indiana Jones
well it could have been a defective lens or it could have been the surgeon’s fault.
since the surgeon will not answer you as to why and how it broke my money is on it being the surgeon’s fault.

i would see a different surgeon for a consult to see if there’s anything they can do for you besides glasses and/or contacts and also get their opinion on the whole situation.

if you feel that it was the surgeon’s i would seek out a lawyer because you may be entitled to compensation for the dr screwing up.

Well, just remember, even after you have your cataract surgery, that does not mean that your eyes with stop changing. As far as your cataracts go, it is hard to tell how long until they are ready to come out. If you do it too soon you run more risks of having complications later. Everyone is different and it might be as fast as a few months to a couple more years. There are too many variables to be able to tell you how long for you. Heredity is one big factor. Uv exposure, diet and all sorts of things over your life time can have effects. If you want them done sooner, you could consult with another Ophthalmologist, one that specializes in Cataracts.

You know, everything was all cloudy and they could only see vague shapes but then after the surgery, everything became clear, colors could be seen and the beauty of a random universe beheld; this is similar to a person who lived their life in nonsense and delusion suddenly seeing the universe for what it really is, in other words, when a religious person becomes an atheist, right?
